ABSTRACT:
An electronic mail alert system includes an e-mail server for administering an e-mail account of an e-mail service subscriber and an e-mail alert front-end. The e-mail server includes a subscriber account memory for storing an indication that e-mail has been received by the e-mail server for an e-mail alert service subscriber as well as a communication port for allowing the e-mail alert service subscriber to retrieve e-mail from the e-mail server via a subscriber terminal remote from the e-mail server. The e-mail alert front-end is coupled to the e-mail server and polls the e-mail server periodically to determine whether e-mail for the e-mail alert service subscriber has been received by the e-mail server. The front-end is also coupled to a satellite transmitter so that an e-mail notification can be disseminated, via a continuous, high-speed communication channel, for reception by the subscriber terminal to apprise the subscriber that e-mail for the e-mail alert service subscriber has been received by the e-mail server.
